FASANOCs Women in Sport Commission will be hosting a Change Management and Empowerment workshop in the western division on Saturday 22 November 2014.
Women and girls already involved in or are aspiring to be part of sporting committees, federations or associations, clubs and or groups, school programs, individual athletes, coaches and managers in the western division will have an opportunity to participate in a women in sports leadership and administration series workshop organised by FASANOC’s Women in Sports Commission (WISC) on 22 November in Nadi.
WISC Chair, Ms Susie Yee said that that workshop on Change Management and Empowerment – the second in its series for the West – is being organised by WISC under IOC support program to help women in the Western Division to be part of the broader outreach programs, helping increase and improve their participation as sport administrators, leaders, managers and individual self development.
Workshop Facilitator, Ms Hamidan Bibi said the workshop is aimed at assisting women and girls in sports to gain understanding of what is change, how to adapt to changing environments, identification of barriers to change, its related aspects and its link to empowerment. “It’s anticipated that the knowledge gained from the workshop will enhance their skills to be able to better serve as leaders, managers and administrators and eventually be change agents to sports development.”
Ms Bibi said that whilst it was pleasing to see more women take on various sports leadership and administrative roles, it was important for them to realize that these environments could be challenging and thus adaptation would be key to their effective participation and to help make decisions.
She added that the workshop is participatory and would allow participants to share knowledge, experiences and lessons learned for greater enrichment.
The workshop will be held from 8am to 4.30pm at the Tanoa hotel in Nadi. Registration is free. Registration forms available at Fiji Olympic House, 17 Bau Street, phone Reception on 3303525 or on the fijiolympiccommitee.com website or can be Emailed.
